Got 5 seconds to help put a huge smile on someone's face??

Hi guys, this thread is a request for some participation from as many of you as possible. But I promise it will be painless.
First the back story.

At the end of June my mother celebrates her 65th birthday. Some of you may already be aware of this as I have already appealed for this via Facebook.
Just before christmas last year, we lost my father. This means that this year on her birthday, there will be one less "Happy Birthday" for her to hear.

So I have decided to try to replace that one missing voice, with as many wishes of goodwilll as I can to make her day extra special. I would love for as many of you guys to join in as possible, and it's real easy to do. Grab a piece of paper, and a marker pen (Sharpie will be fine) and write "Happy Birthday June" on it (her name is also June.) Then hold it up, and take a picture of yourself. Post it here in this thread or just pm me the link to it, or email it to me (pm me for the addy) and I am planning on gathering them all up, and making a slideshow on DVD for her to enjoy.
Her birthday is the 23rd of June so I am going to start the editing and mailing-to-her process on about the 16th, so plenty of time to join in.

Some examples of other people's contributions.

Please give it some thought. Cheers folks.

You guys and gals are fantastic. Thanks for agreeing to be a part of it.

Any latecomers new to the thread are still very welcome to join in, I have no upper limit on how many people can wish my mother a happy birthday.
